The author of Life and Society in

the primitive customs still kept up among
the Saxon settlers in Hungary. The
reader who is acquainted with the 'log
rollings, the 'huskings," and the apple
bees, which are really society matters in
the new settlement OF this country, will
be interested in these eastern occasions as
perhaps the originals Of similar institu-
tons here. The authors Saxon host,
after speaking of the gypsies and the Wal
lacks as common farm hands, goes on to
explain how the Saxons contrive TO
make themselves independent of such
help:
They do the drudgery for us; but plow-
ing, sowing, moving and reaping, being
honorable and manly labor, we do our
selves by mutually assisting ore another

church of a Sunday our honorable

among us honorable neighborsm that so

BY dint of mutually assisting one nm
other, all the outdoor farm work which
we cannot inJrust to the Wallacks is cot
through, for all Saxons are good neigh

just rs though they were brothers. The
hay making seasons are the busiest of the
whole year.
We are out in the fields all day, and ON

the moon. The old men of the village re-

as Pine Ridge" He formerly spent

Lovers of the waltz may celebrate
its centenary. The first dance which
could be described as a waltz was in
troduced to the public in an opera at
Vienna in 1897 by one Vicente Martin
y Solar Commonly called Martini 10
Spagnuolo), who was a popular COM
poser at the court of Joseph III.
A water-rat weighing probably
more than two pounds was seen to go
to a brood of chickens and seize one.
The hen chased the rat and desperate
fight ensued, the hen eventually sue
ceeding in killing its foe and rescuing
the chicken. The latter appeared little
the worse for its strange experience.
In Tangipahoa Parish, La, is an
organization called the White Horse
men," The members wear white
masks and white uniforms, cover their
horses with white cloths, and devote
considerable attention to negroes who
are suspected of stealing. The last

smokehouse.
The hackmen of Victoria, British
Columbia, subscribed 500 toward the
celebration of the Queens jubilee nj
that place, but the hack ordinance was
published in the ColoniSt, and they as
serted that this, by apprising visitors OF
their rights, reduced the hackmen'
profits, and they refused to pay the
money subscribed.

correspondent writing from Brus-
sells gives some interesting particulars
concerning the condition of health of
the unfortunate ex-Empress Carlotta of
Mexico, who became insane after the
execution of her husband, Maximilian.
She is at present coitned at the Cha
teau de Bouchot. The correspondent saw
the ex-Empress when she was walking
in the gardens of the chateau. She was
accompanied by two ladies-in-waiting.
her page and two footmen. The ladies'
in-wa iting, who belong to the Belgian
aristocracy, are some twelve in num-
Der. The ex-Empress, in her walk,
passed very near the correspondent,
and he was able to verify by actual
observation the reports As to the i'm
provement in her condition which have
been circulated during the past year.
He says that she is not changed much.
Her figure is slightly stonter, and she
walks in a cold. impass;ve manner,
looking directly ahead, as if her atten-
ton was fixed on some distant object.
She walks with short steps and
without speaking. She passed through
groups of the most exquisite flowers
without showing the slightest notice,
but as she returned to the house
her cold face took on look of pleasure
and satisfaction at the noisy welcome
given her by a group of peacocks. She
looked at them for long time and
then turned abruptly into the drawing
room, where one of the ladies-in-waiting
played for her an air from "Mignon. "
She listened to this with pleasure, beat
ing time with her hand. She talks a
little with those about her of dress,
music and of the incidents of the day,
indicating a current of ideas altogether
foreign TO her condition a year ago.
She is now forty-seven years of age.
Her physicians are beginning to have
hopes that she will recover within a
short time her full mental powers
